Notorious B.I.G., also known as N.O.T.O.R.I.O.U.S., is a song and single by The Notorious B.I.G. aka "Baby Noor" on the album Born Again, which features Puff Daddy and Lil' Kim. As a tribute song, Puff Daddy and Lil' Kim's verses have little relevance to Biggie's verse, which is about being in the hospital while being comforted by attractive female nurses. It samples the song Notorious by Duran Duran.

The video consists of Puff Daddy inviting a security guard (played by Tracy Morgan) to a party, and a traffic jam, and a big party in the end glorifying The Notorious B.I.G. It features cameos from 98 Degrees, Krayzie Bone, Missy Elliott, Nas, Jennifer Lopez, Mase, Lil' Cease and others. At the beginning of the video, the speaker calls Dr. Dre
